Artist finds simplicity in a complex process

In Los Angeles, abstract painter Kenneth Ober said, there’s no sense of distance. People flit in and out of boxy buildings, confined by skylines and structures. But in his paintings, he reaches beyond that tangible space, into a meditative place that is intricate and complex in process but as simple as the beauty of the natural world that inspires him.
